I'd like: a Gabel's Automatic Entertainer & a Regina Hexaphone I believe that both could be ordered in home versions, which didn't require a coin & could play several records in sequence (or if not available that way, they SHOULD have been. hehe )
I have a couple of the Pathe cone machines (Actuelle - the fan-folded Lumiere was sold by HMV, methinks) .. the sound of the Actuelle with tone arm is pretty nice. I think (this was a while back) I got a 20" Pathe disc to play on a tabletop reflex machine, by removing the lid prop; trouble was, the motor couldn't spin the record fast enough !! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Wright" <[email protected]> I'd love to hear from each of you what one or two phonographs you wish you had, but don't, and the specific appeal of those one or two machines that qualifies them for your shortest short list.
